A member of staff at Warner Bros Studio has been rushed to hospital after being 'stabbed'.

Emergency services arrived at the scene of the serious incident at around 12.35pm today (Wednesday, June 19) at production studios next door to 'The Making of Harry Potter' studio tour - which is a popular attraction for many Essex residents.

It is understood that the incident happened where filming is currently underway for a remake of the Roald Dahl classic 'The Witches' featuring Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer and Chris Rock.

A spokesperson for Warner Bros. confirmed to Hertfordshire Mercury that a "knife-related incident" had taken place on site and that enquiries were ongoing to establish the circumstances.

In an official statement, the company added: "I can confirm that there was an isolated workplace incident at the Warner Bros. studio production facility and the police are now handling the matter."
